Riverstone FamTin

On the edge of a small farm dam with uninterrupted views of the Mostertshoek Mountains, this pet-friendly getaway sleeps four in contemporary comfort. The house, constructed from two repurposed shipping containers, is beautifully furnished, with high-end appliances and a wood-burning stove in the living area. There’s no TV – but who needs it with the golden sunsets and starlit sky to keep you entertained?
